I've seen a variety of questions (like this) which relate to my issue, but none that specifically address my scenario.
I'm running a Windows 8 VM inside VMWare Fusion on my Mac. The VM has shared network, filesystem, etc through the NAT network adapter.
As I'm building an app using Visual Studio 2012, I'd like to do some remote debugging on my Windows Surface tablet (WinRT)... and I have installed the remote debugging tools on the Surface.
However, Visual Studio (running inside the VM) can never see the Surface as a CPU running on the network subnet.
Any ideas? I've even tried physically connecting the computers with USB/Ethernet adapters, but the Surface won't let me install the firmware.
